Welcome to The Iconoclastic Aviators Blog!

Hi!Welcome to the newest aviation blog on the internet. We have tried to make our posts of interest to pilots of various experience levels. The main purpose of the Blog is to encourage thoughtful pilots an opportunity to express them here. The subjects have been selected to inspire discussions both pro and con.

If you feel the time you spent here is of value to you, please let other pilots know about it. The more participants we have, the better!

I had an initial list of approximately 100 e-mail addresses and have sent an e-mail invitation to each of them. I just sent the last e-mail an hour ago. (Thursday, April 8, 2010)

Here is a list as of today (April 8, 2010) of all 43 posts currently on the Blog.I would suggest taking a look at this list and choosing which posts you want to view from the Blog Archive just to the left side of this note first.
